rs aero speedpuck mount

I wanted a lightweight, low-risk speedpuck mount for my RS Aero dinghy. To achieve this goal, I designed a new mount with a more streamlined shape than the original carbon mount, which is also quite pricey. The 3D printed mount weighs about 90 grams and is designed to minimize entanglement issues with lines. To ensure optimal performance, I highly recommend using FormFutura ApolloX ASA material for the print job. This material boasts excellent UV resistance, water resistance, heat resistance, and prints exceptionally well. However, feel free to experiment with other materials if you prefer. One essential component required for assembly is a button-fix Type 1 connecting base, which can be obtained from the RS sailing store or similar retailers for approximately 3 EUR/USD. Additionally, you'll need: * Six stainless wood/metal screws with 3mm diameter, cut to about 10mm in length (to avoid overextending and damaging the back of the base) * Two stainless wood/metal screws with 4mm diameter, used for securing the button-fix, requiring a length range of 10-30mm To further enhance stability, I suggest adding a thin line to secure the speedpuck itself at the vang cleat (as shown in the picture).
